About Bread Ahead
The original Bread Ahead bakery, founded by Matthew Jones at Borough Market in 2013. It is best known for its custard- and cream-filled doughnuts, alongside sourdough loaves and pastries, and the business also runs a baking school. Bread is taken seriously here, with naturally leavened loaves a highlight. Signature bakes include filled doughnuts, sourdough, croissants and cinnamon swirls. It is one of 7 Bread Ahead locations we list across the UK.
Bread Ahead is open 6 days a week, closing on Monday. Mornings start at 9am on its earliest day. It also opens on Sundays, which is not a given for UK bakeries.
